No Parachute when ejecting from a plane - how to fix

[R0adki11 3949]

As the title of the thread says, im currently getting no Parachute when ejecting from a plane. How to i fix this? Is it a config line?

Thanks

Any plane? All planes? Your plane?

If its your plane, what class are you using?

Because normally ANY aircraft will allow any eject crew a parachute.

Is it definately "Eject" thats selected, not "Get out" ?

are you using ACE? 'cause if you're using ACE your player needs to have the parachute ruck/backpack. otherwise he'll fall from the sky like a rock.

Sorry i should have been more clearier. It's my plane, it's a mig23 and mig27 addon. I'm inheriting from the main plane class, I can't see anything wrong with the config. I can't post a config till Sunday night, I'm away for the weekend.

The question is, do you have ACE running? ACE is known to mess up ejection upon addon planes because of improper routines.

No, I don't use ACE.

Well ........... that was helpful :confused:

I was simple answering the question that I don't use ACE. I'm sorry I'm not been more imformative, I will post up a model.cfg and cpp files tonight.

I do appreciate people willing to help me, as I'm still new to proper adding making instead of doing re-textures.

Many thanks

I managed to fix the issue of ejecting, i had the following in the config:

ejectSpeed[] = {0, 0, 0};

As soon as i removed this, ejecting was working correctly again :)

Does your plane have a LANDCONTACT LOD ?

I suspect the game engine is;

- ejecting your crew/pilot

- seeing "land" (or maybe GEOMETRY LOD) under the pilots feet

- Considers the pilot Safe, so doesn't add a parachute to the ejecting person

Try;

- Move the Getin/Getout points in MEMORY LOD a little away from "land"

- or move the Getin/Getout points in MEMORY LOD away from the GEOMETRY LOD

- or try

ejectSpeed[] = {0,40,0};

which is the normal for aircraft, ejects a person vertical at 40m/s
